SAFETY RECALL S09 / NHTSA 16V-114 Occupant Classification Module

April 25, 2016

FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2015 model year Chrysler 200 vehicles.

The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) / Seat Cushion Foam (SCF) on your vehicle may have been serviced with a kit that may not have been calibrated correctly. The OCM and SCF are calibrated together during the manufacturing process as a matched set. An improperly calibrated OCM/SCF service kit has the potential to not deploy a passenger seat airbag at the proper stage for the passenger seat occupant. This could increase the risk of passenger seat occupant injury during a crash.

FCA intends to repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). However, the parts required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition are currently not available. FCA is making every effort to obtain these parts as quickly as possible. FCA will contact you again by mail, with a follow-up recall notice, when the remedy parts are available.

Once you receive your follow-up notice in the mail, simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, or RAM dealer right away to schedule a service appointment.
